Not so long ago, viewing gourmet coffee as part of your lifestyle would have been unimaginable.
Most coffee was purchased in cans from supermarkets, and the quality was very poor. One would grab a coffee before work and during the day. But coffee was chosen for its kick more than for the quality of its taste.
Today, with the growth of specialty gourmet coffees, coffee has come to touch our lives in a lot of new and different ways.
For many, going to a coffee shop has become part of their daily routine, part of their life. Lt has become desirable to hang out in a coffee shop. It is a place to meet with friends hold business meetings or spend time on your own and read, or just sit and enjoy the ambience.
